Transmission FuncTionaliTies

ZF Marine SUPERSHIFT® is a mechanical /

hydraulic clutch control system operated by

solenoid valves. The system incorporates stan-

dard components only and does not require

electronic controls. This insures the maximum

possible durability and dependability.

SUPERSHIFT® is fitted to transmissions of

ZF Marine Propulsion Systems as standard

equipment at no extra cost.

The ZF AUTOTROLL® system provides infinitely variable

propeller speed control when there is a need to run slower

than the engine’s idling speed. ZF AUTOTROLL® allows

operators to increase or reduce slip in the transmission

to match the exact amount of thrust required during low

speed operations. Transmissions of ZF Marine Propulsion

Systems are specifically designed for AUTOTROLL® and the

tough duty cycles that workboats face.

AUTOTROLL® can be operated for extended periods all

without risking damage to the transmission.

Transmissions of ZF Marine Propulsion Systems are

designed to work in the most demanding applications.

Our systems are designed for the tough duty cycles that

workboats face.

The SUPERSHIFT® and AUTOTROLL® features, combined

with ZF controls enable the propulsion system to respond

quickly and with the right amount of thrust to hold the

vessel’s position even in challenging weather conditions.

For as long as the vessel needs to be on station, repeated

gear engagements, reversals, and exact propeller speed

are all available with no risk of damage to the propul-

sion system. Transmissions and controls of ZF Marine

Propulsion Systems are designed to be DP0, DP1 and DP2

compatible, and shaft brakes are not necessary.

Typical applications are:

slow-speed running

maneuvering in harbors and at moorings

DP systems of authority vessels, rescue vessels, etc.

towing small boats

sport fishing at the optimum trolling speed

ZF suPersHiFT®

ZF suPersHiFT®

features a minimum of harness and plug connections

does not depend on any electric power supply

is rated well within limits, avoiding issues with critical

maneuvers (e.g. crash stop)

clutch pressure modulated in two steps to allow for

fast shifts without causing engine stall

shift quality is not effected in any emergency case

“get home” capability incorportated in all models

matches all requirements of any classification standard

allows for adding on other functionalities like

ELECTRIC TROLL, AUTOTROLL® and
